Introduction
This is the release notes for MCUSW_J7_09.02.00 release, produced on 2024-03-12.
The MCUSW package consists of MCAL Driver & Demos/Applications for J721E/J7200/J721S2/J784S4 family of devices . The MCAL modules are compliant to AUTOSAR specification versioned 4.3.1 .
Licensing
Refer to Processor SDK Automotive manifest at top level and MCUSW Manifest for MCUSW Manifest.
Getting Started
The MCUSW User Guide provides the documentation and references necessary to begin development on TI’s platforms using MCUSW.
Documentation
- MCUSW User Guide:
- MCUSW Configurator User Guide:
This document details Supported driver, Installation, Dependencies, Build instructions, Steps to run example applications, Module Specific User Guides, API Guide, Test Reports, Design Document and others.
Refer this before attempting to reconfigure MCAL modules. This include steps to Install Configurator (EB), Configurator Licensing, Generation of MCAL Configurations and others.
Dependencies
NOT Included in MCUSW Package:
MCUSW MCAL Configurator lists the steps required to get access to Configurator.
Configurator package name is MCUSW_09_02_00_05_CONFIG-windows-installer.exe, and contains following items:- MCAL Configurator Plugins (${EB_INSTALL_DIR}/mcal_drv/mcal_config)
- MCAL Compliance Support Package with Safety Collateral. Please note: MCUSW_J7_03.00.00 Release (SDK8.6) is Safety Certified.
What’s New
New features supported in this release:
- Updated Compiler Version: ti-cgt-armllvm_3.2.1.LTS
- Several Fixed Defects.
- QSPI Flash Support added for J721S2 on OSPI1 instance.
Compatibility
Please note that the MCAL Release Versioning has changed and now is in accordance with AUTOSAR requirement SRS_BSW_00321. The MCAL Module Version number (Major.Minor.Patch) is updated only during release cycle based on the change in source/compatibilty with previous release. MCAL Modules will not have a common version number. MCAL Package release version and the Bundle Version of the configurator plugins will be updated for each new release.
Details based on SRS_BSW_00321. The Version numbers of MCAL AUTOSAR Basic SW Modules shall be enumurated according to the below rules:
- Increasing the more significant digit of a version number resets all less significant digits.
- PATCH_VERSION is incremented if the module is still upwards and downwards compatible (ex. Bug fixes).
- MINOR_VERSION is incremented if the module is still downwards compatible (ex. valid functionality added).
- MAJOR_VERSION is incremented if the module is not compatible any more (ex. existing API valid).
IMPORTANT NOTE: User should ensure to use below modules version for MCUSW_J7_09.02.00 release. User should take care to not mis-match or mix-and-match the versions with various MCUSW releases. Bundle Version of all plugins is 9.2.0.
